Sensory Design for Healthier Living
Diving into the fundamental connections between our senses and our living spaces, we will look at how thoughtful, conscious design choices can significantly impact physical and mental wellbeing.
In this course, we will take a brief tour around our amazing body and senses and explore the intrinsic connection between people, places and wellbeing. We will dive into colour, texture, scents and more while looking at inclusive sensory design principles.
